bl3S July 3 The factthat the Kniaz PpteaLkine remains on the high seas in charge of the mutineers is causing so much apprehension and uneasiness to the population of Odessa that the Government has resolved to take the matter in hand and lo show no further hesitation even though the measures adopted involve the lossbf the battleship and the one torpedo boat destroyer here The torpedo boats received ordeyrs this afternoon to sink the Kniaz Potemkine on sight The torpedoboat destroyer now here was reenforced this afternoon by two torpedo boats and others are expected This problem for a single destroyer which is difficult and dangerous enough at best as sbe will have to encounter both the Kniaz iPotemkine and her attendant torpedo boat is now complicated by the departure of the battleship from Kustendji and ignorance as to where ahe will next turnup BUCHAREST July 3 The Kniaz Potemkine left Kustendji this afternoon It is stated mat she is returning to Odessa WILD SCENES IN
